call backs after circulating my new résumé were astounding
“Shauna, I want to share some good news on a role I recently accepted and to sincerely thank you! First, for revamping my résumé - the response and call backs after circulating my new résumé were astounding. But more importantly, thank you for being open and honest in saying 'it doesn't sound like you want to be a lawyer'. It really made an impact. I knew it but it was meaningful to hear someone I don't know say it. Hope all is well.”

your questions have been invaluable
“Shauna, your questions have been invaluable and all of your comments about my original résumé are spot-on. I think you caught me a little flat-footed in our first conversation, which is fine :) So I got my feet knocked out from under me. Frankly, I'm embarrassed about the old résumé and I realize how little prepared I was to be interviewed on it. But I would rather flounder with you than do it in a job interview. I'm much more confident now.”
– General counsel of $450 million regional company
